  1. Re:I Choose Not to Participate on Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    there will be a document with all the steps that are needed for deployment described in a way that a monkey could do it. Monkeys: Sure. Average SA: No.
  2. Re:A rough calculation on disk size on Storing CERN's Search for God (Particles) · · Score: 1

    Thursday, maybe Friday. Depends on the weather.

  3. Re:Demonstration on Firefox Quickies · · Score: 1

    Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (firefoxurl) isn't associated with any program.

  4. Alternate Time on Analyst Says Blu-ray DRM Safe For 10 Years · · Score: 1

    Maybe he meant to say 10 dog years?

  5. Re:References? on Politically Incorrect Observations About Human Nature · · Score: 5, Funny

    Did you learn this the hard way?

  6. Re:What about the walls? on Newly Declassified Window Film Keeps Out Snoops · · Score: 1

    All of the windows at my residence don't have screens. Call me crazy, but I'd prefer the giant pane of glass on the front of the house remain stationary, especially during storms. Not that uncommon, really.
    Then again, the suburban USA might be a bit of an impoverished area...

  7. Re:Not yet on Is the CD Becoming Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    $18 dollar CDs? Where are you buying these from? Most I've ever spent is $15, on one of those double disc things.

  8. Re:Ludicrous. on US Can't Meet The "Grand Challenges" of Physics · · Score: 1

    I think this will help you.

  9. Woman-Bot on "Bear" Robot to Rescue Wounded Troops · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think a large breasted womanbot would be far more comforting than an evil robot bear, considering they are the number one threat to America...

  10. Re:learn better parallel programming techniques? on Intel Updates Compilers For Multicore CPUs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, I've always thought that telling the compiler what you wanted to do, instead of how to do it, would result in the compiler being able to determine the best path to take for a given task.
    Even more so for interpreted/compiled on the fly languages. They can be dynamically compiled to take advantage of whatever hardware is available on each machine, without the developer having to code for it.

  11. Re:the acid test on Apple Hides Account Info in DRM-Free Music · · Score: 1

    Well, well... well someone could have broken into their arch-nemesis's computer to frame them!

  12. Re:Ballmer chair throwing jokes..... on Feedburner Sale to Google Confirmed · · Score: 1

    But you posted one prior to the countdown...

  13. Re:Benefits on Feedburner Sale to Google Confirmed · · Score: 1

    A well known name.

  14. Re:HDMI on What's the Matter with HDMI? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "audio is visibly ahead of the video." Man, what kind of a TV are you using? I want to see audio...

  15. Re:Lego Logo on MIT Media Lab Making Programming Fun For Kids · · Score: 1

    You had an exercise bike?!?!

  16. Re:WMV......lame..... on Halo 3 Beta Impressions · · Score: 1

    Yes. Yes I do.

  17. Cost? on Scientists Claim Major Leap in Engine Design · · Score: 1

    Better fuel efficiency is great and all... but how much does it cost for the individual?

  18. Power on What is Your Desert Island Game? · · Score: 1

    Well, is their a source of electricity on this island?

  19. Re:But... on Researchers Break Internet Speed Records · · Score: 1

    What about double sided discs? :P

  20. Re:Who gets to fix it? on DNS Stressed From Financial Maneuverings · · Score: 1

    I sure as hell Cann!

  21. Re:XD on You Played Violent Games - Why Can't Your Kids? · · Score: 1

    That was somewhat like the attitude of my parents. If they didn't approve of the game (music, movies, etc.), I had to pay for it myself.

  22. Depends on your kid... on You Played Violent Games - Why Can't Your Kids? · · Score: 1

    If your kid has a habit of collecting, killing and then mutilating cute little woodland creatures or the neighbors' pets, I'd consider getting them something other than a violent video game.

  23. In Space... on Patti Santangelo v. RIAA May Be Over · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Patti Santangelo v. RIAA May Be Over... in space!

  24. Re:Your sig on The Top 21 Tech Flops · · Score: 1

    While I've yet to have a poor experience with them, I updated my signature accordingly.

  25. Re:Print Version on The Top 21 Tech Flops · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apparently you have to actually check the box for it to work...
